  • Henri Virlogeux voiced both Getafix and Iris (the Egyptian hypnotist).
  • Micheline Dax voiced both the High Priestess of the Isle of Pleasure and reprised her role as Cleopatra from Asterix and Cleopatra.
• Dueling Dubs: It has two Polish dubs (one in the 70s, another in the 90s, the former being seemingly lost) and three Brazilian Portuguese ones (one in one VHS, another in another VHS that was aired on TV, and one on DVD).
• Referenced by...: "The Place That Sends You Mad" got referenced in the second expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, "Blood and Wine", where one of the missions revolves around "Permit A-38" and the general theme of bureaucracy (in a bank for the game).
• Self-Adaptation: René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the creators of Asterix, directed this movie and cowrote its script.
• You Sound Familiar: Twofold in the French version in regards to later films. Pierre Tornade and Henri Labussière respectively voiced Chief Vitalstatistix and the Roman receptionist of The-Place-That-Sends-You-Mad in The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. Starting with Asterix Versus Caesar and up until Asterix Conquers America included, they would voice Obelix and Getafix, respectively.
